Ask HN: Building Bluetooth web applications for health monitors Tl;dr - I'm looking to build a simple app that reads from a blood pressure monitor, and displays the value. I'm a software engineer by trade (React + NodeJS), and so my inclination is to build an app using React Native and figure out how to connect it to my blood pressure monitor. However, I'm thinking about if this can be done over the web with a simple html file and the Google Bluetooth API. My question is, what are people's experiences with building bluetooth-enabled apps on the web? Did you have any security concerns if any? Did you build a web app and decided it was too much effort, and default to building a native/cross-platform app? |
